Application filed September 8, 1919. Serial No. 322,381.

the object is to provide an apron of simple and economical constructionyet practical and effiolent as a garment. The invention is clearly shownin the accompanying drawing in which:

Figure 1 is a front view of the apron as it appears when being worn on aperson. Fig. 2 is substantially a rear view of the apron as seen in Fig.1.

Referring to the drawing by reference numerals, 3 designates the mainbody portion of the garment which is provided at its bottom with twolegs 4 which are cut away at their rear upper parts as shown in Fig. 2.Said body and leg portions continue in two side portions 5 up as far asthe arms of the wearer. Two shoulder straps 6 connect the rear uppercorners 7 of said side portions 5 to the upper front part of thegarment. A neck strap 8 is secured to the upper end of the garment andis adapted to be passed over the head of the wearer.

It will be noticed that the garment is without buttons, hooks, clasps orbuckles of any sort. It is worn over the clothes as an apron and can beput on very quickly, and still is to all practical purposes fully asserviceable as other more complicated working garments. A high slit 10in the front of the garment and the low cut design in the rear allow fortoilet accomplishments without necessarily removing the garment.
